I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 943 498: Agree or Disagree?

"Why do I feel uneasy?" Qin Ji's expression carried a hint of peculiar unease.

He repeatedly checked the information in his hand. Today was the agreed-upon time with Gu Shanhai. Normally, once the design blueprint for the large-scale Annihilation Energy Array was obtained, everything would be settled.

"No, where is my unease coming from?"

"Could it be Liu Ze and Dong Luo have discovered something?"

Qin Ji did not consider Gu Shanhai as the source of unease, but rather focused his attention on Liu Ze and Dong Luo. In his eyes, the only two people who could pose a threat to him were not players.

"Forget it, no matter, let's receive the blueprint first to avoid unnecessary complications." Qin Ji got up and asked his assistant to arrange his outing, a method to cover his tracks.

However, just as he was about to pick up the phone to inform them, a knock came from outside the door.

"Mr. Qin, Director Liu and Dong Ju have initiated an emergency meeting, please attend as soon as possible." An urgent voice came from outside.

This made Qin Ji's face darken: "Understood, I'll be there immediately."

'Damn, this unease was indeed justified here.' Qin Ji could only put down the phone and then stand up.

He knew that if this matter wasn't resolved, he would probably not be able to leave.

Quickly, he rushed to the meeting room, expecting it to be a confrontation, but surprisingly it was just a high-level meeting between the three, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a public confrontation, it wasn't a big deal.

"Mr. Qin, here, have a seat." Liu Ze hurriedly said.

After Qin Ji came in, he closed the door handily and then jokingly said: "What urgent matters do we have that require haste? I have fieldwork later."

"It's not a big deal, just some minor issues." Dong Luo also made tea and handed it over.

On the surface, everyone maintained harmony, certainly not tearing into each other. The three of them interacted like friendly neighbours.

However, the more they said this, the more uneasy Qin Ji felt.

Nevertheless, he accepted the tea and sat down.

Liu Ze quickly got to the point, casually pressing a button on the remote, the projector started and projected a map onto the wall.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ji's heart skipped a beat, he immediately recognized what the map was, it was clearly the display of his base on the satellite.

'These two have discovered my base!'

'Then calling me here this time, is it to use the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cannon for a direct remote strike?'

Besides this matter, he didn't think there was anything requiring the three deputy directors to gather.

"What is this place?" Qin Ji also asked this knowingly.

"Preliminary suspicion, this is a base of anti-player forces, but currently cannot be determined, hence I was thinking, in the uninhabited area it's too troublesome, why not use the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cannon to directly flatten it and save us the trouble." Dong Luo spoke bluntly without hesitation.

At this moment, Qin Ji was feeling a surge of irritation internally, though it didn't show on his face.

'Damn it, indeed, I definitely cannot agree to this, otherwise...'

'No, I must agree, otherwise they'll detect something amiss, possibly deem it as a weakness.'

Qin Ji's mind was shrouded in gloom.

"Dong Ju's suggestion, I don't quite agree with it, it's only suspected and might be some large-scale yardang landform."

"Moreover, if it's truly an anti-player force, killing them directly would lose a lot of clues; we might as well capture them and dig up their networks." These words were spoken by Liu Ze.

One agrees, one opposes, weighing heavily on Qin Ji's mind.

This situation rendered his vote crucial in deciding whether to use the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cannon.

The problem is, it's a trap.

If he agrees, his base will surely be destroyed. He doesn't care for the destruction of the base, but he's concerned about not having obtained the large-scale Annihilation Energy Array.

If he disagrees, it would be equivalent to exposing himself, leading Liu Ze and Dong Luo to surely arrange elite special operations teams to survey the area, and such a large base cannot be concealed.

"So what is your opinion, Mr. Qin?" Liu Ze at this point showed his agenda openly by directly asking.

"You two, really making me take the blame, huh." Qin Ji first smiled bitterly before saying: "From an emotional standpoint, of course, I agree with Dong Ju's idea; regardless of whether it's a large yardang landform or an anti-player base, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cannon would turn it to ash, simple."

"From a rational analysis, Liu Ju's plan is more prudent, since turning to ash is simple, but having one more clue allows us to uncover more anti-player forces."

"It's a difficult choice."

Qin Ji exhibited his hesitation.

"Alternatively, send people to survey first, if we get confirmed information, then use the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cannon." Qin Ji opted to avoid offending either and considered it not an ideal solution.

After all, neither of these two characters is a pushover.

Such a proposal could barely be seen as a method to break the situation.

"Getting old, getting old, can't believe I couldn't think of such a simple thing." Dong Luo sighed.

Hearing this, Qin Ji inwardly criticized: 'Not think of it? You're placing me on the line to roast.'

"However, I still persist in directly using the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cannon, if the clues break, then they break. Such a base, its armed forces surely aren't weak. If we truly deploy special operations teams, casualties would be severe."
